Abstract
We studied a 28-year-old Yemeni woman with typical Seckel syndrome. Tw o deceased sibs, a twin sister and a brother, had also been affected. The father of these individuals was married to his cousin's daughter: the pedigree suggests autosomal recessive inheritance. Classical Secke l syndrome has not been reported previously in Arabs, and this appears to be the first report from the Middle East. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc .
